Bunny Emoji-88 (Hello) [V5] I've been working on a novel since November...well, maybe it'd be more accurate to say I started in October. I've just finished the second revision as well as a promotional story that I'll be sharing on my new website soon. I think I've just been so overwhelmed with life over the last couple of years. This novel has really helped me return to a creative way of thinking and living. And it all started the way any of my projects usually start... "Why don't I try this?" So I'm not going to quit creating art on paper just so I can create art with the written word. I'm not going to stop making chainmail or quit sewing costumes. I've just chosen to pursue novel writing in a more dedicated way than the other creative outlets I dabble in. Bunny Emoji-89 (Cheer) [V5] 

The book I'm working on now is titled "Ripples". It's a literary fantasy novel about a young girl who goes on a pilgrimage to find out what her purpose in life is. She finds out her purpose is to spark the unification of the people of her world. It's not easy for her. She's very shy and the youngest child in her family. And there's an undercurrent of cultural prejudice that threatens to separate the peoples even more. She has to learn how to overcome her own fears to be a bold leader the people will respect. And on the journey, she does find love, though she may have to sacrifice all that she has ever known to hold on to it.

The digital art I shared today is for a calendar I'm putting together as another promotional item for "Ripples". I'll share my favorites here.
 










I had a lot of fun putting these together. Each of the chapters in my book starts with a quote and I'll add some of those into the calendar. I'm really looking forward to the finished product.
